A temporary order is a kind of relief granted to a party at the beginning of a trial or sometime before the final judgement. Some of these orders may include child support, possession of children, spousal support and many others. In some cases, temporary orders are granted ex- parte which means it is granted to one party without the other party’s knowledge. It is important to realize that temporary orders are only enforceable during the period of the divorce process but can become permanent and hence you must seek counsel on options available.
